There's not really any harm in talking to others about lucid dreaming. You might convince them to try it, or you might even find that they are already lucid dreamers themselves! A little healthy excitement can make you more motivated to lucid dreaming and can increase your chances of success. |

I tried telling my family once, not directly but I created little hints of it to slowly introduce them to it. Then they usually tell me it's not healthy to dream so much and I need to sleep instead. Now I've stopped talking about it all together, except to my friends at school who were more interested and who actually already knew a little bit about it. |

If you read this do a reality check, you will thank me later...
Fortunately, my family is very open when talking about these topics or subjects like lucid dreaming or astral projection, out of body experiences, etc. I do notice however, that they're not actually interested in learning to lucid dream. I mean, they kind of understand the idea, as well as the fact that it's possible to do it. However, they think lucid dreaming doesn't offer any practical use that one could benefit from in the waking physical reality. |

There's nothing wrong with briefly mentioning it, as long as you don't keep talking about it even when they show obvious signs of not being interested. |

I've often heard the misconception of losing sleep due to LD-ing, but that is not the case. In my experience, I feel more rested and alert if I have a night full of dreaming, not to mention more creative and enthusiastic about living if I can remember what beautiful craziness my dreaming mind came up with. I certainly agree with Laurelindo's message about it being a "mental reality", which I've also referred to it as a "complete personal reality", one in which the fabric of space is yours to fold and mend. With that being said, who wouldn't want to learn to harness their dreaming ability? What harm is there in staying alert during sleep? |

My LDing record, if you want to hear about it, is about 4 WILDs, 1 DEILD, and the rest DILDs.
What I do nowadays is that I deliberately make sure to be around lots of people whenever I feel like reading Exploring The World Of Lucid Dreaming. |

2 years ago when I first learned about it, I tried to tell my friends about it, but they just laughed at me and doubted it. Their loss > |

Welcome to dreamviews, here is a place where you will *never* be ridiculed for talking about lucid dreaming. I only talk about it with people who either: 1) are from dreamviews, or 2) I know are dreamers or open to spiritual experiences, into meditation, etc. (exactly one of these, who was very receptive and said he'd actually been in to lucid dreaming a while ago in his past). |

I regularly mention lucid dreaming on my Facebook profile, but I never ever get any responses whatsoever, not even Likes, which I usually get at least a few times on the things I post. |

Not just lucid dreaming, generally most people just seem really awkward about "new" concepts. |

This question comes up a bit. I tend to keep it mainly to myself, but I've mentioned to one of my close mates. He was super interested and wanted an easy/lazy technique. Told him about DEILD but he found it too hard. And only briefly to my Dad when Lucid Dreaming came up on a news program we were watching. |

Two out of five is great, keep doing what has worked, dry spell's happen to everyone. I mainly just hope you don't get frustrated. I find it's important to enjoy the process even if you fail over and over, because many lucid dream journeys await you. |

I mainly keep it to myself but I did told my girlfriend about it and she's practicing it now |
